Mushroom Body Microcircuit
The mushroom body (MB) is the fly’s learning and memory center — a microcircuit of ~6,300 neurons that transforms dense olfactory input into sparse, associative representations. It is the first circuit explored end-to-end in BRAVLi, and the subject of a research manuscript.
